"R2 (35) ATLANTA FALCONS (VIA ARIZONA): DI RUKE ORHORHORO, CLEMSON
Pick Grade: Below Average
Atlanta gives up its third-round pick to move up eight spots and take the 67th-ranked player overall on the PFF big board. Orhorhoro is a powerful, athletic defensive lineman with some movability along the defensive line. That didn’t translate to high-level production at the college level, though, as he posted a sub-50th percentile pass-rush grade on true pass sets over the past two seasons. With several talented interior defensive linemen left on the board, this is a bet on his athleticism and continued development in the NFL."

"8. Atlanta Falcons: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington - Grade: C-
That's our first stunner of the night, and it's truly a wild decision. Atlanta very much looked to be in win-now mode after signing its long-awaited veteran quarterback this offseason in Kirk Cousins, who landed a four-year, $180 million contract. Instead of addressing a dormant pass rush, however, Raheem Morris and Co. took ... another quarterback. Penix turns 24 next month, and it's not clear when he will see the field with Cousins in the fold. His live arm can unlock new possibilities for Drake London and Kyle Pitts, but he's hardly a pinpoint passer. He also has major issues when forced off his spot, and he needs to develop his comfort level in attacking the intermediate area."
